Sabine Hossenfelder is an author and theoretical physicist who researches quantum gravity. She is a Research Fellow at the Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies where she leads the Superfluid Dark Matter group.

Carlo Rovelli is an Italian theoretical physicist who works mainly in the field of Quantum Gravity. He's the author of the popular science book Seven Briefs Lessons on Physics and was named one of the 100 most influential thinkers by Foreign Policy magazine.

Lee Smolin is a theoretical physicist known for proposing a reconciliation between loop quantum gravity and string theory. He is author of The Trouble With Physics and Time Reborn.

Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Surrey, Al-Khalili has received an OBE for his work as a science broadcaster and communicator.

Christopher Impey is an astronomer, educator, and author. He has been a faculty member at the University of Arizona since 1986. Impey has done research on observational cosmology, in particular low surface brightness galaxies, the intergalactic medium, and surveys of active galaxies.

Cumrun Vafa is a physicist and recipient of both the prestigious Dirac Medal and the 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics. He is author of the book ‘Puzzles to Unravel the Universe.’

Renee Fatemi is the simulations manager for the groundbreaking Muon g-2 experiment. As Professor of Nuclear Physics at the University of Kentucky, Fatemi is an expect in accelerator-based nuclear and particle physics.
